Awesome bike ! Didn’t see the vids of the build . But that’s one awesome bike . I was born along time ago . And my friend and his dad where I grew up bought an auction police bike pan head in the mid fifties . I remember Bob the son . If the bike didn’t start within three kicks he immediately would usually clean the points , adjust them and have that bike kick started within two kicks . There was a time when you could go to swap meets and pick up parts readily and cheap . Not anymore . I had bought my last bike new from Harley Davidson. A 2002 Standard Road King . Just sold it a year ago . Decided I was going to get back into riding acouple of weeks back . Ended up buying a new car instead . Even has air conditioning. LOL. And for far less then Harley wants for a new bike these days . I understand here in 2020 Harley Davidson is in a bit of trouble . They need to do what Ford Motor did and mass produce a popular bike that everyone can afford like the 65 Mustang . And is still being built today . Again that is one fine pan head FLH you have there . Good luck and safe riding .
Man you guys did an awesome job just a beautiful job and it doesnt need to be all origanal to me you used all the correct parts to make this one hell of a bike i dreem of owning a pan one day . great job guys and im happy you didnt take all the credit very respectable.
Looks nice , I've got an A Title 55 pan FL in the garage my dad bought new in 55 & I bought from him in 70 when he got his 1st shovel FL New , the shovel is an A Title bike too , My pride & joy is my 36 knuckle EL B Title bike my dad bought from original owner & not knowing any better back then switched the A Title into his name making the bike a B title bike .
visually mind blowing,gorgeous......really nice workmanship.the only thing that doesnt look correct for that year is the seat,but wtf cares,its a frankenstein.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! And I learned something, too, about special factory colors. Just curious: Would you happen to know what the special paint would have cost back in 1955?
i used to kinda call my 1980 flh a double nickel because on the speedos at that time the 55mph was highlighted because of the fuel crisis the govt. made the mandatory max speed. at the power company were i worked some of the trucks actually had a 55 mph governor on them.
-nice bike -but if you can take a little criticism --i don’t think the little lights on the front fender add to the overall 50’s style ,and the lights on the luggage rack are a definite no no , i like them by the licence plate ,so they don’t interfear with the luggage, small change for the amount of work put into this pan --
All those orphaned parts were brought together with such a wonderful end result! A beautiful bike!
Absolutely beautiful, stunning, classic!

SMOKIN 50s
Fellow panhead freak!! :D
You guys did an outstanding job! Did you debate white-wall tires?
That is gorgeous parts bike or not. i want to build a replica 50's pan using a modern motor with tank shift but my bank account said no.
